DIR. III. Murphy has been q tenant
in Il. M. Coates block for several
months. Recently tenant and landlord
had some misunderstanding which
wound mp in what might have been o
serious matter if an officer had not been
hard by. This morning DR.. Murphy and
his wife we're seer to enter Coates store
in some haste and a glimpse through q
window after they had vanished within
revealed Mr.. Murphy ahying various
mercantile articles at Mr.. Coates and at
the same time arguing with his wife who
strove to calm him. Mr. Coates stood
some distance off toying with a revolver.
Deputy Sheriff Branch entered at this
moment and escorted the irate physician
to the sidewalk. DIR. Murphy swore ont
a warrant against Mr.. Coates, charging
an assault with a dangerous weapon
with intent to harm. The case comes
up before Judge Pratt OF 10 O'clock to-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
At about Tour o'clock yesterday after
noon a small boy stole quietly up the
stairs of the Press and Dakotaian block
to the editorial room door where he
stood unobserved for some moments
probably awed by the by the awful APP
pearance of the city editor who was SO
clad rs to make himself as cool as pos
sible. The bog finally opened the door
and stepping inside remarked, 81 got
a four legged duck here,' and from out
the depths OF o paper ice cream can he
ished "a young but decidedly healthy
and loud smelling duckling, which sure
enough had four legs instead of the
asual one pair. On one side there
was one perfectly formed leg while on
the other there were three, n perfect
and the other two nearly perfect. These
three climbs" grew from q common
joint and the bird was apparently more
active than ducks with the usual number
of legs. The boy was plainly happy in
the possession of his prize and his de-
parture WAS made with a hop, step and
jump.
In one OF the resorts of sin upon the
levee, q few days ago, a girl was taken

Spouse to the summons from her home
in a neighboring Iowa town. TIE
mother had no suspicion that hel
daughter was leading q life of shame
until her arrival here, when the horrible
truth was revealed. With q true mothers
devotion she took her station at the bed
side OF her daughter and nursed her bacs
to life in the midst OF the u~nelsen sur
